Conversations with the Earth Community Festival

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

In March 2010 we organised the first Conversations with the Earth Community Festival to celebrate biodiversity and cultural diversity around the world and in our hometown Oxford in particular. Over the course of nine days diverse activities - ranging from film screenings and lectures to discussions, practical workshops, participatory ‘ceremonies’, comedy shows and dance events - took place in the Old Book Binders in East Oxford, UK.

At the heart of the festival was The Conversations with the Earth (CWE) multimedia exhibition that combines impressive photo-stories with moving community videos from indigenous communities that live in critical ecosystems around the world. At the community festival the visitors were invited to hear the stories and learn about the work of both these far-off indigenous communities and their Oxford neighbours and to find out what they can do themselves to contribute to a more sustainable and just lifestyle.
